Best Public Schools in Zip Code 03882

Summary:

The 03882 zip code in New Hampshire is home to a single public elementary school, Effingham Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 108 students. The school is part of the Governor Wentworth Regional School District, which is ranked 93 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Effingham Elementary School's academic performance appears to be a concern, as its proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (35%) and Reading (35%) for all grades are significantly below the state averages of 42% and 55%, respectively. However, the school's 6th-grade proficiency rates in Mathematics (63%) and Reading (63%) are higher than the state averages, suggesting that the school may be more successful in supporting older students.

The school's high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (38.89%) indicates that it may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. Despite this, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, which is a positive indicator and could be a strength that the school can leverage to improve academic outcomes. However, the school's statewide ranking has been declining over the past few years, dropping from 89th out of 237 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 166th out of 224 in 2024-2025, which is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and intervention.
